The Laws Affecting Small Business (LASB) series was originally written by a group of expert authors between 1997 and 1999. Gary Moore updated the LASB series in the context of 2022 South Africa.
Each LASB entry attempts to identify those laws and regulations in a particular social field that hinder economic growth, in particular by small and medium enterprises. After identifying and describing the problem, each LASB includes a host of particular recommendations for how those legislative or regulatory obstacles could be eliminated or made less severe.
Below can be found the LASBs (click on the cover to read the text), their authors, when they were updated, and when and by who the 2022 edition was launched.
